I’m only a paragraph into
this column and already I feel
like some old bore pulling his
big whiskers and going Bah!
just as they used to do in the
cartoons. So let’s go the
whole way and say that the
younger generation in West
Van are disgusting, especially
on the buses. So there. They
never stand up for adults, nor
even for poor old crocks who
can hardly make it onto the
bus.

It’s not the twenty-year-
olds we’re talking about here.
It’s the kids. And judging by
the way they act they must
have terrible parents. In-
dulgent parents. Sweet-as-pie
parents. Parents who dote on
their brats. Parents who are
on pot. So it will serve mum-
my and daddy right if the
darlings qualify for the title
of Lout of the Year. (If girls
can be louts, that is, since
many of those | have in mind
are girls, who, if anything,
are worse than the boys.)

IDIOT MAGPIES

Let me come right out with
it. West Van kids are little
pigs on the buses. And don’t
think that I’m voicing a per-
sonal complaint. I may be an
elder by some standards, but
] can stand quite happily and
usually do. Heck, I even go
skiing when the mood takes
me. But it’s enraging to see
the West Van whipper-
snappers lolling around on
their seats while old men and
women have to fight to stay
on their feet.

get this straight

by Doug Collins

Are West Van kids
pigs only to me?

SAY THE OLD are forever complain-
ing about the young. Plato or some other
Ancient Greek pointed that out long ago.

More recently! George Bernard Shaw said that all
the young could do for the old was to shock them
and keep them up to date. But who wants to be
kept up to date on bad manners?

Only the other day, coming
back from Vancouver, I wat-
ched while 10 girls from a
posh school lolled around.
The vehicle was packed and
not one of those delightful

stance. It happens so often
that your man Doug is think-
ing of giving up bus-riding,
such experiences being bad
for the blood pressure. Last
week, for example, I was sit-
ting next to some boy-lout
who was so busy fondling his
zits that he took no notice at
all of an old lady who looked
as if she was going to drop
dead at any moment. If the
cop-shop hadn’t been so
near, I would have clouted
the little love ca the ear.
Things being what they were,
though, I was the one who
stood. .

for
anyone. Chattering away like
a lot of idiot magpies, they
were so wrapped up in
themselves that they pro-
bably didn’t even notice there
was anyone else on board.
They were an advertisement
for the fact that wealth doth
not gentility make, and will

surely grow up to be
sociologists or phoney
human rights experts or

maniac libbers.
It wasn’t an isolated in-

There used to be signs in
the Blue Buses telling kids to
vacate their seats for adults.
They were taken down, either

-because the kids can’t read or

because someone yelled that
the young were being
discriminated against. Well,
as I always say, the more
discrimination the better.

Do you, too, think, the
local kids are little pigs, or do
they only do this when [I’m
around?
